The Mask

Published by Dark Horse from 1995 to 1996, this 17-issue series expanded the chaotic world of the original The Mask comics, with John Arcudi, Robert Loren Fleming, and Rich Hedden as its primary writers and Doug Mahnke, Goran Delic, and Gary Erskine leading the art. It deepened the lore of the green-faced artifact’s warping influence, blending dark comedy and visceral action. While the earlier stories introduced the concept, this run cemented the franchise’s signature tone of cartoonish mayhem and psychological horror.
